Dominate the world in three weeks?

The carriage with the goshawk family emblem was driving in the night, and the rhythmic sound of hooves showed the excellent bloodlines and rigorous training of the first two horses.

The carriage stopped in front of a beautifully-looking annex.

A strong and heroic knight in white jumped out of the carriage first. He was wearing a close-fitting knight outfit, with a purple silk scarf sandwiched around his neck with sapphire buttons. The sword hanging from his waist had a gold scabbard and a hilt decorated with gems.

The handsome face of the knight is like a resurrection of a god, with perfect lines and curves.

This is a man with an unparalleled appearance, his handsomeness can attract anyone's attention.But the man bent down and stretched out his hand into the carriage.

A hand that was exceptionally white in the dark night put on the man's arm, and then a black-haired boy in a silver-gray suit stepped out of the carriage.

The servant in front of the annex hurried over and bowed humbly: "Good night, Lord Aldret. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the master for your time."

Under the curly black hair, the delicate and gentle face was exposed under the street lamp. It was Terrence who came, and the knight who followed him was naturally Lancer Schevenlieu.Terrence handed the invitation to the servant, and walked into the annex in cowhide boots.He noticed several carriages parked in front of the door, and slightly bent the corners of his lips.

Terrence came to attend a banquet held by the big businessman Stiller.

The servant led the two into the annex, and the supposedly spacious and bright hall was arranged like an auction.A high platform was built at the end, and a few delicate and beautiful tables and chairs were placed below it.

Thinking of the rumors that the other party collected treasures, the businessman's arrangement was really ingenious.

There were already other guests in the living room.

The only son of the Duke of Pacino, the eldest son of the current prime minister, and the Earl of Cantor who is in charge of the Finance Department are all among them. Recalling the family coat of arms on the carriage I saw just outside the door, this man who is rich enough to be famous with the king The big businessmen who are on the same level are really going to spend a lot of money this time.

It seems that the other party really wants to settle down in the empire, otherwise they wouldn't be so exhausted - merchants are very keen on how to obtain wealth, and similarly, they also have the ability to detect any changes that make them lose their wealth.

The arrival of Terrence caused a commotion.Although the young duke was not old enough to enter the parliament hall, the queen's appreciation for him was obvious to all over the past year.

Even though he still maintains a reserved attitude about whether the other party will really be able to sit on the throne in the end, the little duke is now someone who can speak in front of the queen.

After dealing with the accusations of some people, Terrence turned his attention to Earl Cantor.

The earl, who was over 30 years old, wore glasses and looked soft and friendly. He looked more like a clerk who followed the queen, but the other party was actually a very cunning and overall-oriented figure, who was also responsible for the empire's diplomatic missions.

Earl Cantor noticed Terrence's gaze, and walked towards him holding a glass of wine: "Good night, Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to be interested in such a banquet?"

Terrence smiled: "Your appearance surprised me."

He looked around meaningfully.Appearing at the banquet is nothing more than some small officials, such as Pacino and Prime Minister Freeman just sent juniors.The Earl of Cantor was considered the most powerful guest among them—Terrence, who had no official position, was also slightly inferior in this regard.

Earl Cantor shook his head: "Of course I can't neglect such a wealthy businessman. You must know that the wealth brought by Mr. Stiller is an important part of filling the treasury."

Terrence raised his eyebrows. He really doesn't know anything about business, so let the right people take care of this kind of business.

Earl Cantor mentioned another thing: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Your Excellency the Duke for one thing."

Terrence stared at the other party and motioned to continue.

"The Raymond you recommended to me is indeed an excellent talent. Thanks to your discovery, our Cantel family will not lose a young man with outstanding talent."

Raymond Cantel was originally the branch president of the Cusack City Mage Association, and a distant relative with the Cantel family in the imperial capital. Now he has firmly become the new city lord of Cusack City.

Because of Terrence's disappearance, the Queen ordered a thorough investigation along the way, and Cusack City was the first to bear the brunt.In the end, it was discovered that the city lord concealed taxes, privately robbed young children for auction and other bad events - some of which were true, and some were naturally lies secretly arranged by Terrence, but the guard next to Viscount Cusack did a lot of shocking things. The outrageous thing was beyond Terrence's expectations.

Viscount Cusack and his accomplices were quickly sentenced to death due to their vicious behavior, and Raymond Canter made great contributions to exposing Viscount Cusack's evil deeds. Became the new owner of Cusack City.

Terrence had indeed found an opportunity to mention Raymond's matter to the Duke, but now that Earl Cantor directly mentioned it, Terrence raised his eyebrows.

This smart earl would not know that Raymond actually had a connection with him in private, but he brought Raymond into his sphere of influence, and he would not think that the other party was surrendering to him.

Probably because you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

Earl Cantor wanted to use Raymond to get closer to himself. This upstart from a distant relative could not only serve as a medium for the Cantel family to show favor to him, but if Terrence failed to get the crown in the end, they could also use it at any time. withdraw.

But in any case, this is a good signal for Terrence - Earl Cantor at least believes that he has a certain advantage in the battle for the throne.

He thought of seeing the prime minister's eldest son sitting with Xavier Pacino just now.

Obviously, Prime Minister Freeman is pro-Pacino faction.In the face of such a powerful enemy, any help that can be obtained is extremely important.

Terrence smiled and raised his glass, colliding with Earl Cantor's wine glass: "Where, I don't want to see the precious orb get dusty, and Mr. Raymond's excellence makes me very happy."

Earl Cantor talked with Terrence for a while, and quickly returned to his seat.

Xavier Pacino and Elvega Freeman walked over immediately.

These two people are about the same age, they are friends of the same period of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial arts, and they will graduate in two years, so it is no wonder that they are always inseparable.Political intimacy is always passed down from generation to generation.

Terrence looked at Xavier with a half-smile, but didn't speak first.

The much-loved only son of the duke knew what Terrence wanted to do, and he squinted his eyes and remained silent.It was Elviga Freeman who was following behind him who spoke first: "Good night, Your Excellency Duke Aldret. I didn't expect to see you here."

As he said, he pulled Xavier's clothes secretly, signaling that the other party's attitude should not be too tough.

Xavier snorted softly, and said, "Cousin Terrence, long time no see. I didn't see you at the party held by Madam Blue Rose last time. I thought you decided to practice spells at home and didn't plan to come out to have fun? "

Terrence has a title, and Xavier's calling him by his first name can be called offensive, but Terrence didn't hold on tight - that seemed really petty, and the little duke couldn't do it for the sake of the other party's temporary favor. His tongue was quick and dissatisfied. Anyway, in formal occasions, no matter how unwilling the other party was, he still had to salute to him—he just answered the second half of Xavier's sentence: "I heard that Mrs. Blue Rose likes handsome young men. I'm afraid my The age was not appropriate, so the idea of ​​visiting was dismissed."

Mrs. Lan Qiangwei is the widow of a Marquis, and her son is still young, so Nuo Da's family depends entirely on this lady.But at the same time as this lady's social skills are famous, she is also famous for her extravagant private life.

A hungry/thirsty slut who lost her husband.

Everyone calls each other that behind their backs.

Such rumors will always reach the ears of the person concerned, but this lady still goes her own way.Some self-sufficient and dignified noble ladies described the other party's banquet in their small circle as a jjj night scene entwined with rose thorns.

But even so, there are still many nobles who are willing to go to participate. The status of Marquis is enough to support the scene, and the invitations are all powerful people with status. This is a rare social occasion.

Xavier was there with his father, but Terrence is now making it sound like he's having an affair with the banquet lady.This made Xavier, who was very self-reliant, blushed suddenly.

But Terrence's words were not finished yet - because of the Queen's obvious inclination, Duke Pacino had long since stopped maintaining his face-friendliness, and used a tough attitude to stabilize the support behind him.Therefore, the tit-for-tat confrontation in several public occasions has caused Terrence and Duke Pacino to tear away the false peace on the surface.How could an immature child take anger from his father without venting it on his son unkindly.

"It's Cousin Xavier, you have to be careful. If there are any rumors, those noble ladies who like you will be sad. I heard that my cousin has not yet made an engagement, so don't delay your life because of a momentary infatuation Big deal."

He said that there was a beginning and an end, as if there was such a thing—a young noble fell in love with a noble lady who had children and had a bad reputation—Xavier slammed his wine glass directly on the table in anger.

It was still Elviga who held him back, and looked at Terrence with a smile: "The Duke of Aldret knows a lot about these secrets, but I think His Excellency the Duke should concentrate on studying hard at this age. Yours The housekeepers seem to be doing something unqualified."
